Need help with a magnetic field question

AI Thread Summary
The peak voltage generated by rotating a coil in a magnetic field is directly proportional to the angular frequency of the rotation due to the rapid change in magnetic flux. A higher frequency results in a quicker alteration of magnetic flux, which induces a stronger electromotive force (EMF). The discussion clarifies that the change in electric flux does not influence the induced current, as the mechanism relies on the force acting on free electrons from changing magnetic flux. Therefore, the focus remains on magnetic flux changes rather than electric flux. This understanding is crucial for grasping the principles of electromagnetic induction.

Ok the question is -- Why is the peak voltage generated by rotating a coil in a magnetic field proportional to the angular frequency of the rotation??

The answer i believe is the higher the frequency--> the more rapid change of magnetic flux.

can anybody concur this is correct and why the answer would not be higher frequency--> more rapid change of electric flux?

The mechanism of induced current involves the force experienced by the free electrons in a conductor due to changing magnetic flux. It can be achieved by rotating the coil in the magnetic field. The change in electric flux does not contribute to the current in the circuit.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
